2D Lothian Street, Dalkeith, Midlothian, EH22 1DS

This B-listed Georgian semi-detached cottage in central Dalkeith presents a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a significant renovation project. Priced at £130,000, the asking price is very close to the local average, making it a reasonable entry point for a home that could truly shine with the right vision. However, the extent of required works is considerable, with a renovation range of £80,000 to £150,000, leading to all-in costs that are stretched against local benchmarks for similar properties. The existing condition shows signs of significant wear throughout, with dated living spaces, bedrooms, and a kitchen in need of complete refurbishment. The garden also requires landscaping, adding to the overall project scale.

Despite these challenges, the property’s architectural charm and central location offer a fantastic blank canvas for restoration. The layout includes a vestibule, bright living room, and two well-proportioned bedrooms, providing ample space to create a bespoke home. With unrestricted on-street parking and proximity to local amenities, this property has the potential to become a delightful residence once brought up to modern standards.
